My thread was deleted or locked

[supermario]

My thread is locked, I explained that it was an honest error that i bumped it twice becus i was using my cell phone and I thought my first bump didnt go through! Anyhow, do i repost or you do you unlock my thread? Its been several days and kinda ridiculous now Thanks

you need to contact a mod after 24-hours are up and ask that it be unlocked.

Hey I'm new to Calguns and had a question. In the marketplace, why are threads not deleted after the item(s) have sold. There are thousands of threads and perhaps 60% or more are sold. Why keep the clutter? It makes searching for what you want much more difficult. Thanks!

[ke6guj]

because they don't. It may make searching for something harder, but it is usually safe to ignore items that are older, or on page2 of your search results. In addtion, part of itrader requires you to link to ther thread. And it lets you research past sales to get an idea of the average price of an item.

It doesn't make clutter because active items get bumped to the top and sold items fall to the bottom (except when a idiotic seller bumps his thread just to tell us it was sold)

I think it's for iTrader purposes.

Ok guys...help me out here, your input is appreciated. As you can see in posts 29&30 here, I listed a watch then asked it to be locked because I changed my mind. I started a second thread of the same watch (thread #2) and was locked because of multi thread rules; when asked what should be done, I was informed to start thread #3 (see post #30 above). I started thread #3 and guess what...yep, it was locked again. So, should I start #4 and what are the odds that it'll be locked in a few weeks? Please help and I look forward to your reply. Thank you.

I'm trying to look at the timeline and see that you currently have a tire thread in the non-firearms forum that you were bumping around the same time you were posting the watch listings. You need to add your watch listing to that thread, that is your one "active" thread allowed in the forum.

You tried posting in the wrong forum. It wasn't even the market place forums. And it was once. I don't see a second attempt.

Hey I think I know what I did wrong.Is there any way to get mine back on there or do I just make a new one but follow the rules more carefully? Not sure what to do

[ke6guj]

basically, you should be able to post it again after 24-hours, provided that the new add doesn't violate the rules.

[milkman916]

Ok sounds good What other choice do I have lol. I think I know what was wrong but I'm not to sure.So if people talk in the thread it will bump it right? I'm guessing thats what happened....

[ke6guj]

if other people bump your thread, it is not your fault, and will not normally get your thread locked. But, if you respond to them, your responses could be considered bumps, and the 24-hour rule applies. read the rules on that. Better to edit your OP with any answers that you need to respond with, or PM the person asking them, if you would run into a 24-hour bump violation.

well i just noticed mine got locked too, thank god i sold the firearm yesterday.

i dont see the rule i violated but its not my forum so i dont make the rules.

all i was gonna do is update it as sold and bam i noticed LOCKED.

not too fair if people are posting in your thread and bumping it, with no fault of yours!
